David P. Shapiro Criminal Defense Attorneys





When your freedom and future are on the line, you need more than just legal representation-you need a defense team that understands the full scope of what's at stake. David P. Shapiro Criminal Defense Attorneys brings over two decades of exclusive criminal defense experience to San Diego's most serious cases, including sex crimes, violent offenses, white collar crimes, and felony DUIs.
Our team-based approach means multiple attorneys collaborate on every case, ensuring no detail is overlooked and someone is always available when urgent decisions arise. We've successfully defended hundreds of clients, but we know that behind every case file is a real person with real consequences at risk. A DUI isn't just about blood alcohol levels-it's about the teaching job you might lose. A felony charge isn't just about potential jail time-it's about your ability to see your children or maintain your immigration status.
That's why our case evaluation process goes beyond the charges. We take time to understand your background, family, career, and immigration status, because effective defense strategy must account for everything you stand to lose, not just what happened that night. Our structured approach ensures thorough investigation, expert witness coordination, and strategic planning from day one, while our multiple attorneys and support staff provide consistent communication and seamless court coverage even during fast-moving situations like felony readiness conferences.
What truly sets us apart is our ability to deliver immediate response capability combined with comprehensive case preparation. We've built a proven track record successfully resolving cases ranging from first-time offenses to complex federal investigations, and every defense strategy is tailored to protect not just your legal position, but your reputation, career, and family relationships.
Whether you're facing your first criminal allegation or considering switching attorneys mid-case, you don't have to navigate this alone. Call for a confidential consultation where we'll review your case, explain your options, and outline a clear strategy to protect your freedom and future. When everything is on the line, you deserve a defense team that fights for all of it.
